That's all you need. One horrible situation where someone re-offends in a very unpleasant, brutal way,\" Leno said. \"And so that's always in the back of someone's mind. And nothing is foolproof. Nothing is 100% ... There is risk involved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno was among the Democrats pushing most aggressively for more prison releases during his time in the Legislature, and he came up against staunch opposition, even when the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=200920100SB1399\">prisoners in question were comatose\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You'd think that would be the low-hanging fruit, that would be the slam dunk,\" he said of the bill to release medically incapacitated prisoners, who were costing the state tens of millions of dollars a year. \"We got a lot of resistance to this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno noted that it wasn't just the Supreme Court order that finally prompted state leaders to consider laws aimed at reducing the prison population: It was that order, combined with a state budget crisis, as well as shifting public opinion. Many of the most significant criminal justice reforms enacted in California over the past decade were passed by voters, not lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who have voted against those types of laws consistently is state Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Tehama. He opposes Newsom’s release plan, even though it is largely limited to prisoners set for release soon anyway, saying it ignores the rights of victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The victims, they are the most forgotten individuals in all of criminal justice today ... They have no standing anymore.

They will re-offend,\" he said. \"And in this particular case, they have been in an infected environment. And it's rather ironic and risky, ironic and risky, to put individuals who have been in a high-risk environment into the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former prisoners like Michael Mendoza are hopeful. He said he's seen a notable shift among both state leaders and the public in recent years, and the substantive policy change that's come out of that evolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are more people that are impacted by the criminal justice system like myself that are out here and advocating, sharing our stories ... How we are human beings, how we do have the capacity to grow, mature and change,\" Mendoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom may be not going as far or as fast as Mendoza would like, he still sees this governor as the most willing to try in recent memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"As COVID-19 ravages state prisons, Gov.

Broadly, it would make it easier to charge someone with felony theft and easier to send someone back to jail for violating their probation; and harder for many inmates to earn parole from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would do so by reversing aspects of three laws — two enacted by voters — aimed at both reducing the number of people in crowded prisons and jails and the amount of money the state spends locking people up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past five years, one of those measures — \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2014/general/en/pdf/proposition-47-title-summary-analysis.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 47\u003c/a> — has allowed $350 million to be\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796149/voter-approved-criminal-justice-reform-expected-to-save-state-over-122-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> redirected\u003c/a> from prisons to victims services, schools and treatment programs. Prop. 47 reduced many nonviolent and drug-related crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and allowed people previously convicted of those offenses to petition a court to have them reduced to misdemeanors. It took the savings achieved from lower prison and jail populations and redirected them toward community programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the November initiative would reverse portions of Prop. 47, making it easier to charge someone with felony theft. The report estimates that change alone could result in an additional 4,900 to 9,900 felony arrests per year — costing taxpayers an additional $154 million to $457 million a year in court, probation, jail and prison costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the big takeaway for us on the fiscal side, at least, is that this is going to be hugely expensive,\" Washburn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, she added, \"I think that the far greater costs of an initiative like this are going to be borne by communities and families and people that are swept up in a more punitive system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure also seeks to roll back some aspects of \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2016/general/en/pdf/text-proposed-laws.pdf#prop57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 ballot measure written by former Gov.

State officials say by next year, it will have resulted in some 8,600 inmates serving shorter prison sentences, and is saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/partners/documents/chronicle_prison_reform_article_10-2-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 109, also known as realignment\u003c/a>, requires people convicted of nonviolent, nonserious, nonsexual crimes to serve their sentences in local jails instead of state prisons. It\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11108031/five-years-later-many-see-criminal-justice-realignment-as-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> helped reduce the state's prison population by tens of thousands of inmates\u003c/a>, and was intended to address a U.S. Supreme Court order to reduce the population in California's overcrowded prisons. The courts found that the overcrowding was resulting in inadequate medical care and violating inmates' constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CJCJ report states that many of the gains made by Propositions 47 and 57, and AB 109, would be reversed if the proposed ballot measure is approved by voters. In the first five years, it could drive up state costs by $2.3 billion, money that could otherwise be spent on \"programs that address the root causes of crime,\" the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also states it would drive up prison and jail populations, potentially putting California in violation of the Supreme Court order, leading to more lawsuits and forcing county sheriffs to release some inmates early.[aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More generally, the report finds, the initiative would pull more people into the criminal justice system — and by prioritizing punishment over treatment, \"could result in more people trapped in a pattern of low-level crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a former police officer who helped write the measure, said he does not believe it will lead to a drastic increase in jail or prison populations. He said it was carefully crafted to target violent offenders ineligible for earlier reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While it will increase some costs, the universe is not that big, and it keeps bad people in jail. So if you're pimping a kid or raping a woman, you are a bad person and you should do your time.

safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crime rates, she notes, have continued to fall over the past decade, as these reforms were implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that there's a real argument to be made that

Broadly, it would make it easier to charge someone with felony theft and easier to send someone back to jail for violating their probation; and harder for many inmates to earn parole from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would do so by reversing aspects of three laws — two enacted by voters — aimed at both reducing the number of people in crowded prisons and jails and the amount of money the state spends locking people up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past five years, one of those measures — \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2014/general/en/pdf/proposition-47-title-summary-analysis.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 47\u003c/a> — has allowed $350 million to be\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796149/voter-approved-criminal-justice-reform-expected-to-save-state-over-122-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> redirected\u003c/a> from prisons to victims services, schools and treatment programs. Prop. 47 reduced many nonviolent and drug-related crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and allowed people previously convicted of those offenses to petition a court to have them reduced to misdemeanors. It took the savings achieved from lower prison and jail populations and redirected them toward community programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the November initiative would reverse portions of Prop. 47, making it easier to charge someone with felony theft. The report estimates that change alone could result in an additional 4,900 to 9,900 felony arrests per year — costing taxpayers an additional $154 million to $457 million a year in court, probation, jail and prison costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the big takeaway for us on the fiscal side, at least, is that this is going to be hugely expensive,\" Washburn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, she added, \"I think that the far greater costs of an initiative like this are going to be borne by communities and families and people that are swept up in a more punitive system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure also seeks to roll back some aspects of \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2016/general/en/pdf/text-proposed-laws.pdf#prop57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 ballot measure written by former Gov.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
